This patch adds code and documentation for the following blending
related properties: 'alpha', 'blending' and 'alpha_premult'.

'alpha' property defines plane's transparency used for some blending
modes.

'alpha_premult' property defines if RGB pixel data in the framebuffer
contains values pre-multiplied by its alpha value or full range RGB
values (0-255), which needs to be multiplied by pixel alpha value for
blending operation.

'blending' property selects blending mode - by selecting one of the
predefined values, user can select a pair of factors, which will be
used in the generic blending equation. For more information, see
the kerneldoc for the added code.

I have a hard to figure out what that is saying. The fact that it goes
on talking about ranges of the RGB values is IMO just confusing.

I'm pretty sure I've suggested it before, but I would just make this
some kind of 'alpha_premultiply' which when enabled will perform the
premultiplication, and when disabled it won't.

Description could IMO be something as simple as 
"Premultiply the source RGB values with the source alpha before blending?"

Why do we need these names for the modes? Can't we just use the real
GLesque things? They would at least tell you waht it's going to instead
of having to guess. Also these are clearly missing needed stuff
(eg. src=1.0 dst=1.0-src alpha)

+ * DOC: Generic plane blending operation
+ *
+ * Planes attached to one CRTC are blended by the hardware to produce the final
+ * result on the display. The order of planes during blending operation is
+ * determined by 'zpos' property. When order of plane for blending operation is
+ * determined, then framebuffers of all planes are placed on the display area
+ * according to the configured position and target size.
+ *
+ * Then one of the selected blending procedure is applied to each pixel on the
+ * display area to compute the final result of the blending. The blending
+ * procedure is similar to the well known glBlendFunc() API.
+ *
+ * The generic equation for blending is:
+ * outputRGB = sF * sRGB + dF * dRGB
+ *
+ * @sRGB: are RGB values of blended plane
+ *
+ * @dRGB: are RGB values of plane's background (result of previous blending or
+ * 	RGB pixel values of deeper planes).
+ *
+ * @sF and @dF: are one of DRM_FACTOR_* symbolic constants.
+ *
+ * Blending mode then defined as DRM_BLEND(sF, dF), which selects respective
+ * factors for the above equation. For more information, see drm_blend_mode
+ * enum.
